Overview
We are a school that uplifts identities, pursues academic excellence, and is guided by social justice.
Our commitment to diversity, equity, and social justice is also reflected throughout the curriculum which supports the values of working democracies: self reliance, free inquiry and a respect for differences.
Students learn to be responsible to themselves and to their communities.
The atmosphere at MCS allows children to recognize their own potential and encourages them to work toward it.
The Bank Street School for Children is a Preschool through Grade 8 co-educational school situated within Bank Street College of Education and is a working model of the College`s approach to learning and teaching.
We are an example of progressive education at its best.
The curriculum is experience-based, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. In a rich and varied academic program, children make discoveries from their own observations, explorations, and experiences and use them to construct understanding.
The emphasis is on the whole child: the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual being.
We embrace the values of community and diversity, and we strive to educate children to be lifelong learners in a dynamic and challenging world.
